Ohhh I love this place. I went for my birthday last year and many time prior and after. More so for kareoke night in the bar but I love the cafe ad well for is great and drinks were great and if you ate looking for a good time and great laughs plan to go asap. Well its probably close due to covid but once this craziness is over make plans to go hang with friends and family or both.

Had a fun morning with my daughter. Good music and nice little operation. A bit more expensive than I was hoping for, but Ill likely be back.

I love to bowl! It would be nice if they had more waitresses to take your order and please always tip them thats probably why we dont have them like we use too! And people please...clean up after yourselves...I would come tho cause its the closest.

I came here with some friends to celebrate a birthday - overall, I really like the vibe here, and I havent been to THAT many alleys, but I dont recall seeing one with 68 lanes! It almost looks like a mirror image (maybe it was - just kidding). I would definitely come back

This place was awesome. I had to wake up early to get there, so I was in a cranky mood, but the breakfast I had next door made my very pleased because food was so good. Bowling was fun, Im not a pro, so my score was pretty low and I didnt win. But it was a fun experience. I am going to return.

Family fun. Arcade and frozen yogurt on site. Good pricing after 9pm weeknights. Cosmic bowling weekends. Minus one star because surrounding is getting pretty dirty. Friendly staff.

It was really nice! I was there for a birthday party. Staff was nice, everything was clean. They have a snack bar and pizza. The pizza was actually pretty good. It was a pretty big. And shockingly not packed for a Saturday at 4pm. I would definitely come here again!

What an amazing place we are a group visit here and we enjoy the time when we are here with my colleagues. It was so nice and very nice lane to play. We are really impressed with this place that is well managed and all the staff working here was friendly and well mannered staff.

Review №22

Arcade was lame. Games wouldnt work but takes the credits from you and would not award you the tickets for prizes. Prizes too expensive.The place was crazy and was not my favorite alley to bowl. The Pro Shop was great. This was the reason they got as many stars as it did. Had a ball drilled there which was great because we bowled while he drilled the holes in my new ball. Great job. I think his name was John? Anyway thank you ProShop guy.

Review №24

My family and I had a great time bowling here. We were visitors from Texas. The staff was very friendly. Ezzy greeted us with such a friendly smile. There were 68 lanes so you probably wont have to ever wait for a lane. There was even a pro shop. They were very accommodating when our lane broke down. My only complaint is that the pins seemed to have been misaligned. They kept falling at will and would reset with missing pins, if it reset at all. Thats why Im rating them four stars. Our overall experience was very pleasant. Do check this place out.

Dope, dope, dope establishment! The building was full and bubbly. Everyone was enjoying themselves and having fun . Its more than just a place to bowl . There are drinks games and a really jumping Karaoke room which was the most populated place there

Good place that needs more than a bar update. The arcade needs a huge upgrade and they need family friendly seating .dinning directly visible and connect to everything else i would go back but potential it has to be better is visible

Review №35

Games are only 5 bucks each. I played two games and rented 2 pairs of shoes and only came out to 17 bucks. The staff is helpful. The arcade was closed though but the lanes are good.

Review №36

And bowling here for years its changed over the last five years so I guess whats new ownership. Very expensive to bowl we no longer get league discounts. A staff is nice you get to know people there, nearby eateries are good, the staff is nice.

Review №39

What can I say, bowling is always fun. Sure pins might fall over on their own or have a minor malfunction on your lane . But thats goes with all bowling alleys. This is a really chill place you can bring your family or have some drinks with friends. Its really inexpensive and good old fashioned fun. The atmosphere is full of positive vibes with a mixture of all races young and old. Definitely recommend!

Review №41

We had a small party for my daughters. Compared to four other Alleys, their package was very reasonable price wise. All 15 kids had a great time. The staff was friendly, but very busy; be patient. Serval eating establishments adjacent to the facility, including a desert place. Convenient.

Review №43

We had a blast and the service was stupendous, but it was not what we were thinking. We will likely go to fountain bowl (further drive from us) for any future cosmic bowling needs. The atmosphere is just more to our liking.

**Updated review** I had to give the extra star after our recent party for my son. Jonathan and Leonard are so nice and helpful.Our party hostess didnt make it the day of our event so Jonathan took over and he was THE BEST! He was on top of EVERYTHING, he was fun and great to get along with yet still professional. We will request him as our host if we have another party.I forgot to mention the bartenders....there used to be an older woman who always helped us and she was so nice. I believe she retired and coincidentally her daughter now bartends and is equally as nice.I do love this place but it definitely needs some updating which is why I did not give 5 stars. We visit here at least once or twice a year for a birthday party or just for a family night out. The staff have always been friendly and seem to be very knowledgeable in their field. Our own parties here have always been a great success. Lanes and equipment are basic and have normal errors like any other place.

Review №50

A decent place to bowl. I personally did not enjoy it too much. Had fun because of my friends, but the place itself needs some work. The machine that scans the pins constantly kept miscounting or even glitching and giving a person, who hadnt rolled a ball, a full set. Dissatisfied with the experience here

Nice place only problem i have is that they dont have enough security and people can walk in with weapons on them other then that very nice place.

This bowling alley is near Paramount and Carson and very family friendly. Despite them having a tournament, they still provided lanes to the public. I did have to clean and bus my own area, though. No big deal. Needless to say, I would come here again! Enjoy :)

This alley has plenty of lanes. Many balls to choose from but 7lb balls were unavailable. I havent been bowling in a while so it was a little bit more expensive than I thought it would be. $36 for 3 people 1 1/2 hours of play.

Review №63

People say this place is old and outdated, but you know how the saying goes if it aint broke dont fix it. I have been coming to this bowling alley for many years, for recreational bowling, on a bowling league, birthday parties, karaoke, and I have even celebrated New Years Eve here, and had a great time. I love everything about this bowling alley, the customer service, bowling shop, the bar, karaoke, arcade, and the food is surprisingly pretty good. They keep the place very clean and the lanes are a bowlers paradise. Its not like all the new fancy bowling alleys popping up, but it is straight up old school and they still get it right here.

Review №65

I love going there because it isnt crazy crowded so you dont have to wait around for anything. Yes it is a little old but the staff does try to take care of the place. The shoes I have rented always look almost new but that may be because of my size. Variety of bowling ball sizes and getting your beer and food is super easy. Overall our experiences there are always fun.

Not too many bowling alleys left they seem to be going the way of the drive-in movie theater far and in-between. This place is kept clean if you need help its only a button away and fairly priced lots of leagues to join.

I run a bowling league here Thursday nights. The staff is amazing. From the bartender Becca and cocktail waitress Jackie to the front desk staff they are pretty great. If I had one complaint it would be the fact that its always too darn hot in their. But overall great place.

My kids loved this place it was clean and they have rails so the kids can bowl easily and there are bumps you can put on to so it can go straight .
